To all whom it may concern,.- Be it known that I, ROBERT GEIsLER, a citizen of Germany, and a .resident of the city of Leipsic, in Germany, have invented new anduseful Improvement-s iin Umbrellas, of which the following is a specification.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I l represents a top -view of partof the umbrellaframe extended.I Fig. II is a side View 0f the same closed. Fig. III is a side view of one frame extended. Fig. IV shows the tip-holder with some of the struts attached. Fig. V is the umbrella-handle in' section. Figs.' VI, VII, and VIII are enlarged views of the same. Similar letters represent similar parts in all the figures.

R are the rib-sections provided with the usual struts or braces, S. On both sides of these struts S flat springs F are arranged, se-V curely fastenedA to the strutsf near the tip.

holder A, and secured at their other ends by means lof a ferrule, C. These springs F give .to the' struts a spring when the umbrella is vthe umbrella expanded when the runner A Yhas been moved above the projecting end D of the same. E is the stop to regulate the upward motion of the runner.

In the umbrella-handle Ha rod, J,`is arranged in a suitable groove, having near its upper end a slot, J', through which the projecting part or nose D of the spring-catch D passes'.' The lower end of this rod J is connected to a small lever, K, through which this rod J may be moved upward. When the umbrella requires to be closed, this rod J v is'moved upward by means of the lever K, when the lower part of the slot J will act against the proj ecting partor nose Dl of the spring-catch D, and

force the same inward clear of the runner A',

allowing thereby the umbrella, assisted by the .springs F, to close itself.

` I do not claim the springs at both sides of the struts or stretehers; but v WhatI claim as' my invention, and desire to seeureby Letters Patent, is Y lIn 4combination'with the spring-catch D, the rod J, with slot J at its upper end, and lever K at its lower end, placed in a reeessin the umbrella-handle H, constructed and 4arranged to operate in the manner and for the' purpose substantially as described. f
